Lorelei | Newborn

Little Lorelei is just eight days old today, and she was a natural in front of the camera.
She was awake and alert for a lot her session today, but that's okay! We got
some great shots that I am beyond excited to share with you all.
I just cannot stop gushing over them. Newborns may 
just be a tie with homecomings as far as my favorites go.

Okay, okay. I'm going to quit babbling and get to the pictures. 




 Such pretty eyes!

Hunt | Military Homecoming

We were up before the crack of dawn this morning. But, it was totally worth it.
I still stand by my statement. I love homecomings. 
There isn't a much better time to capture pure happiness than at a
homecoming where a family is being reunited after months apart.

Jayden was just under a year old when his daddy left, but six months later, 
he still remembers him like he never left! It was amazing how
quickly this child's mood changed once he was in his daddy's arms.
Such a great start to the day.

Welcome home to all the Marines of 1/5! 




"I've waited over 6 months to hug my daddy!"
How precious!

Bowers | Military Homecoming

Homecomings might just be one of my new favorite session types. 
Wow. Amazing. So much emotion, and happiness. 

The look on Arin's face when he saw his wife was priceless, true elation. 
A little over 8 months ago, I did a session for them before he left for this deployment.
I told you all that they were just, full of love for each other. And today,
after 8 months apart, was no different. 
This was an amazing experience. Thank you guys for having
me there to capture it! 
Welcome home to you, and the rest of 15th MEU!
